Re: [hlds] Lovin the Heavy Update
Maybe it was lag but I was spec'ing a heavy eat a sandwhich and he went straight from almost real small red bar to over half his health in one move (and then to no health since a soldier found him [and apparently really wanted that sandwich]) Either way, the sandvich is cute and all but it kind of ruins it for me. It really SHOULDN'T easily stop you from dying while on fire, has no one noticed the only way to kill a heavy as a pyro mano-a-mano is to sacrifice 90% of your health? and that's only if you're sneaky enough to start attacking them before they shoot you. And not dying from being on fire is what dispensers and medics are there for. [??R] The-/iller wrote: The sandvich heals in 4 parts i believe, with every munch or so?

Re: [hlds] Lovin the Heavy Update
You're still standing around unmoving for a while, and you have to sacrifice your shotgun entirely to use it, meaning your only defense is the slow-to-spin-up main gun. I've seen complaints about nearly every new weapon so far being overpowered (backburner, airblast, ubersaw, etc), and yet I am having tons of fun in the game every day. - Neph On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 12:06 AM, tgnwells [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe it was lag but I was spec'ing a heavy eat a sandwhich and he went straight from almost real small red bar to over half his health in one move (and then to no health since a soldier found him [and apparently really wanted that sandwich]) Either way, the sandvich is cute and all but it kind of ruins it for me.

Re: [hlds] Lovin the Heavy Update
i would have to disagree. you already have the fist taunt that actually has some range on the kill. another kill taunt would be to much. with the slow down i think its quite balanced. It slows people enough with out being over powered. i think if it froze them in place then it would be a issue.

Re: [hlds] Lovin the Heavy Update (tgnwells)
I agree that valve should make their arena maps modify in some way to make it more simaler to Halo 3's Swat. Maybe like...eveyrone gets equiped with very accurate...battle rifle remakes. headshots kill, everything else hurts a good amount you know.. just throwin ideas out there. o and community map sucks...love the new pl map. + lumber yard should be converted into a pl map aswell... - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:59 PM Subject: hlds Digest, Vol 6, Issue 43 Send hlds mailing list submissions to hlds@list.valvesoftware.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of hlds digest...
